Goodgym Southampton is one year old today!! 🎉🎂
To celebrate we went to city farm with an army of goodgymers ready and eager to help with whatever task Tom may have had in mind for us. We were pretty sure it was going to be more goat mountain shenanigans but were shocked when farm volunteer Danni mentioned that this evening we would be helping put all the animals to bed and meeting them all by means of celebration and thankyou.
We were thoroughly spoilt - getting to feed the sheep and goats, getting walked by the new pygmy boys, putting the chickens and ducks to bed and meeting all the reptiles from the blue tongued skink to the gecko and giant african land snail.
After our tour of the farm we were kindly given use of the community room to celebrate our birthday with cake and drinks kindly supplied by Energise Me and Ellie.
We were also delighted to see Paul and Simon back with us after last weeks litter pick and to welcome Aimee for her first goodgym task.
Its been an incredible year with 157 tasks(!!!). Heres to seeing what year two brings!

We returned for our second visit to George Williams YMCA this evening. After successfully ensuring we could enter the garden at last weeks visit we decided to start tackling different sections of the garden this evening.
It was lovely to be joined by Lucy and Duncan this evening who had travelled from Portsmouth to brave the hideous rain and lend a hand! Thankyou both.
Duncan and Hannah split into a team litter picking the vast amount of litter in the garden. Top finds from them were a knife and fork!
Lucy, Helen and Grace decided to tackle the bramble bush of doom which was just inside the door. Grace earned top marks from Lucy for her bramble technique and the team soon uncovered a shopping trolley(which was repurposed into a rubbish holder) two washing up bowls and a whole other mountain of litter.
I decided to use one of the bowls to collect glass in, there was so much it seemed to never end! In the end i called defeat on squatting down for glass after yesterday's marathon squatting escapades and once litter mountain was uncovered started to make an attempt in disposing of that.
Overall it was a very wet but enjoyable evening. Much rubbish and brambles were cleared and we look forward to returning soon!

Victory is ours! Goat mountain has been summited and claimed as a goodgym stronghold!
After several tasks building goat mountain Tom assured me that this evening would be the evening which our intrepid explorers would summit the dizzying heights of goat mountain.
We were joined again by Grace who wasnt put off after Thursday and quickly got to work!
Once the hard work was over Ellie went searching for a stick so we could claim goat mountain summited. Once summited we had a hoe down on the mountain busting out some line dancing moves to Beyonces this aint texas - a unique and fun way to pat down the soil!
We are back at the farm soon for our first birthday and are intrigued at to what other non goat mountain related tasks Tom has in store!
